See below in Section VII.D.5 for discussion on a permit modification to incorporate the like-kind engine replacement of C100 with C200. Enforcement History Questar Gas Management Company, a prior owner of the Island Compressor Station, entered into a Consent Decree with the United States (Case No. 2:08-CV-00167-TS-PMW) on July 3, 2012, to resolve alleged violations of several MACT ZZZZ and MACT HH requirements at multiple compressor stations in the Uinta Basin, including the Island Compressor Station. The Consent Decree was terminated on June 4, 2014 (see Appendix B); however, several requirements survived termination of the decree. (See Section V of this report.) The EPA issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) to MPLX LP (MPLX) on November 22, 2019, which included alleged violations of MACT HH and MACT ZZZZ at the Island Compressor Station for: (1) failing to conduct periodic performance testing on combustor C-1, in violation of the testing requirements at 40 CFR 63.772(e)(3)(vi), the control device performance requirements at 40 CFR 63.771(d)(1)(i), 63.772(f), and 63.773(d)(5)(i), and the requirements of Paragraph II.D of Title V operating permit number V-UO-000011-2006.00 (and Paragraph II.D of Title V operating permit number V-UO-000011-2018.00); and (2) failing to timely submit results of MACT ZZZZ performance tests for engine C100 at the Island Compressor Station, in violation of the reporting requirements at 40 CFR 63.7(g)(1). There are no additional finalized enforcement actions at the time of the inspection. Inspection Findings/Areas of Concern Emissions were detected by EPA inspectors for a second inspection in a row from the thief hatch on the flash tank from the dehydration system. WexPro should consider enhanced monitoring of the thief hatch on the flash tank/TEG knockout tank of the dehydration unit or attempt to find a more permanent solution to reduce the failures of this emissions source. Wexpro confirmed the thief hatch was repaired on September 27, 2024 via email to EPA inspectors along with an OGI video. EPA has concerns that the compressor engine C200 monthly pressure baseline appears to vary in the maintenance record reports. The baseline pressure, as measured in inches of water, should only change upon catalyst replacement. The EPA reviewed engine maintenance record reports that had varied baseline pressures in each measurement compared to what was provided while during the onsite inspection. According to information provided by Wexpo, the catalyst had not been replaced between tests. Although there does not appear to be a requirement to record baseline pressures, the catalyst should be operated and maintained according to manufacture specifications. If Wexpro is using baseline pressure to monitor catalyst performance then it should be followed accordingly to ensure proper operation. EPA inspectors saw continuous from the C200 blowdown vent, which should have evacuated emissions as part of the engine shut-in earlier in the day prior to EPA's onsite inspection. Wexpro representatives believed a valve repair might be necessary, however the valves to the blowdown vent pipe were serviced in March, 2024. WexPro made multiple attempts to repair the leaking valves and shut-in the compressor station on October 4, 2 2024 in an attempt to minimize emissions and fix the issue. On October 14, 2024, WexPro provided IR videos showing the valve was repaired and returned the components back to service successfully. WexPro stated that the unit does not leak both while the compressor is operating and while the unit is shut-in. Lastly, EPA advised WexPro to consider back pressure regulators on ECD's to allow for more complete combustion of emissions being routed to a control device. This is not a permit requirement and is only being included in this section for informational purposes. Compliance Assistance A copy of this report, which highlights EPA's areas of concern, is being provided to WexPro upon finalization. Description of Operations The Island Compressor Station receives a comingled stream containing natural gas, condensate, and produced water from surrounding well sites via pipelines. The natural gas and condensate undergo a natural separation process in the inlet separator that separates natural gas from the natural gas condensate. The natural gas condensate is routed to two 400-barrel condensate tanks (Units T-1 and T-2 in Table 3), and produced water is periodically drained into the 210-barrel produced water tank (Unit T-5 in Table 3). Vapor from the tanks is routed to a combustor (Unit C-1 in Table 3). The natural gas is routed to the compressor (Unit C200 in Table 3, the previous unit C100 was removed and EPA was notified on July 27, 2021), where it is compressed from field pressure to approximately 1,000 pounds per square inch gauge (psig). The compressed natural gas flows through a discharge cooler to cool it to 120 F before passing into the triethylene glycol (TEG) dehydrator (Unit D-1 in Table 3) to remove water to meet pipeline specifications. The dehydrated natural gas is then routed to the natural gas sales pipeline. The rich TEG exits the contactor and is depressurized in a TEG flash tank. The emissions from the flash tank are routed to control devices (Units FL-2 and C-1 in Table 3). The depressurized TEG is routed to and regenerated using heat in a vessel called a glycol reboiler. The regenerated lean TEG is circulated back to the contactor. The natural gas condensate and produced water are transported off site by tanker trucks. There are fugitive emissions associated with the potential seeping of natural gas from connections, seals, flanges and valves. GEN3 is utilized on site for instrument air for the pneumatic equipment like pumps and controllers. See Appendix A of this report for an aerial image of the facility. General Inspection Observations and Commentary On September 18, 2024 at 11:49 AM, EPA representatives and Ute Tribe Air Program representatives met with WexPro representatives onsite at the Island Compressor Station. An opening conference was conducted, during which EPA inspectors presented credentials and EPA inspectors informed WexPro representatives that the site would be surveyed using a forward looking infrared (FLIR) camera, but that the camera operator would remain at a safe distance from all potential sources of ignition at the site; therefore, no hot work permit was required. WexPro representatives then conducted a job safety analysis and then facility walkthrough for the inspection. According to information provided by WexPro during the inspection, Island was shut in besides a generator providing electricity to the facility. No throughput of the facility occurred and the inlet and outlet were shut-in. The only functional compressor engine, C200, was shut down since the morning according to WexPro personnel. A new engine was being installed and WexPro provided a copy of a permit modification request (not reviewed during this inspection report because the engine or components were disconnected from the process stream and unable to operate) showing proof of notification for the project. The facility was shut-in because the outlet discharge exceeded 1170 psi, and therefore Island could not increase pressure to the sales gas pipeline beyond that capacity. EPA confirmed that there are two- 400 bbl condensate/oil tanks onsite, one-210 bbl produced water tank, and one- 100 bbl TEG knockout tank. The condensate and produced water tanks are trucked out approximately once per week for loadout. 3 C200 was confirmed off, and the new engine was confirmed disconnected from the gas stream. The new engine is a Waukesha L7042GSI, serial number WAU-1654195, manufacture date was July, 2024. During the walkthrough EPA inspectors also viewed the control devices. The ECD and flare, controlling tank and dehydration unit emissions, operate without a backpressure regulator. EPA advised WexPro that the use of a backpressure regulator allows for a more complete destruction of emissions routed to the unit (not a permit requirement). EPA inspectors could not see visible flame in the ECD sight glass however viewed the control panel for the ECD showing the temperature was varying between 645F and 700F during the inspection. The flare was not operating. Details of the FLIR video taken during the inspection are found in Appendix B. Continuous emissions visible in IR from the FLIR camera were observed while EPA inspectors were on site from the thief hatch of the flash tank from the dehydration unit. EPA inspectors also saw continuous emissions from rod packing. WexPro representatives believed the rod packing emissions were from a vent pipe attached the used oil skid and no follow up was required, which was confirmed via email on September 26, 2024. Lastly, EPA inspectors saw continuous from the C200 blowdown vent, which should have evacuated emissions as part of the engine shut-in earlier in the day prior to EPA's onsite inspection. Wexpro representatives believed a valve repair might be necessary, however the valves to the blowdown vent pipe were serviced in March, 2024. WexPro made multiple attempts to repair the leaking valves and shut-in the compressor station on October 4, 2024. On October 14, 2024, WexPro provided IR videos showing the valve was repaired and returned the components back to service successfully. WexPro stated that the unit does not leak both while the compressor is operating and while the unit is shut-in. EPA and Ute Tribe representative met with WexPro representatives for a brief closing conference. A confidential business information (CBI) warning was presented to WexPro representatives, and no CBI was claimed. During the closing conference, EPA inspectors discussed the leaks discovered onsite from the dehydration unit knockout tank, rod packing for C200, and the C200 blowdown vent pipe. EPA and tribal staff departed the facility at 12:39 PM. An email to request relevant compliance-related information and records was sent to Katherine Brown on August 21, 2024. Katherine provided the requested information to EPA via email on September 3, 2024, September 26, 2024, October 8, 2024, and October 14, 2024. Potential to Emit (PTE) Pursuant to 40 CFR 52.21, potential to emit (PTE) is defined as the maximum capacity of a stationary source to emit a pollutant under its physical and operational design. Any physical or operational limitation on the capacity of the source to emit a pollutant, including air pollution control equipment and restrictions on hours of operation or on the type or amount of material combusted, stored, or processed, shall be treated as part of its design if the limitation, or the effect it would have on emissions, is federally enforceable. See Table 2, below, for facility-wide and emission unit-specific potential to emit data for the Island Compressor Station, as reported in the Statement of Basis for Permit No. V-UO-000011-2018.00. The PTE totals below include reductions from legally and practically enforceable requirements set forth in the Title V permit, including a federal Consent Decree (See Section V, below). Table 2 also contains the total PTE for all insignificant emissions units. The Title V Operating Permit Program at 40 CFR Part 71 (Part 71) allows the Permittee to separately list in the permit application units or activities that qualify as "insignificant" based on potential emissions below 2 tons per year (tpy) for all regulated pollutants that are not listed as hazardous air pollutants (HAP) under section 112(b) and below 1,000 lbs/year or the de minimis level established under section 112(g), whichever is lower, for HAP.

Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines - 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ A. Applicability [40 CFR 60.4230] 1. 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ applies to the following emissions unit: (a) Caterpillar G3306B 4SRB RICE identified as GEN3 in Table 2 of this permit; and 2. Notwithstanding conditions in this permit, the Permittee shall comply with all applicable requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ. OBSERVATION: GEN3 is a spark ignition (SI), internal combustion engine (ICE) with a maximum engine power less than 500 hp that was constructed after June 12, 2006 and manufactured on or after July 1, 2008; therefore, pursuant to 40 CFR 60.4230(a)(4)(iii), NSPS JJJJ applies. GEN3 was installed on November 9, 2018 as a like-kind replacement for the existing 203-hp Caterpillar G3306, which was called emission unit GEN2 in the previous permit (V-UO-000011-2006.00) for the Island Compressor Station. GEN2 was manufactured on December 19, 1998; therefore, GEN2 was not subject to the requirements of NSPS Subpart JJJJ. Additionally, C200 was installed August 2021. C200 is a SI ICE with a maximum engine power greater than 500 hp and was constructed after June 12, 2006 and manufactured after July 1, 2007 therefore, pursuant to 40 CFR 60.4230(a)(4)(i), NSPS JJJJ applies. This Title V permit does not contain the requirements of C200 however a permit modification was submitted to incorporate those requirements. We will also include discussion on compliance applicable requirements within this inspection report. C. Emissions Standards [40 CFR 60.4233(e) and Table 1, 60.4234] 1. The Permittee shall comply with the emissions standards for non-emergency, spark ignition (SI) internal combustion engines (ICE) greater than or equal to 100 hp and less than 500 hp, for GEN3, as specified in 60.4233(e). 2. The Permittee must operate and maintain the stationary SI ICE subject to the emission standards as required in 60.4233 over the entire life of the engine, as specified in 60.4234. OBSERVATION: Pursuant to 40 CFR 60.4233(e) and NSPS JJJJ Table 1, since GEN3 is a nonemergency SI ICE with a maximum engine power of 203 hp that was manufactured on or after January 1, 2011, both GEN3 and C200 must meet the following emission standards: Engine GEN3 (manufacture date on or after July 1, 2010) NOX: 1.0 g/hp-hr or 82 ppmvd at 15% O2 CO: 2.0 g/hp-hr or 270 ppmvd at 15% O2 VOC: 0.7 g/hp-hr VOC or 60 ppmvd at 15% O2 Engine C200 (manufacture date on or after July 1, 2010) NOx = 1.0 g/hp-hr CO = 2.0 g/hp-hr VOC = 0.7 g/hp-hr 8 OBSERVATION: GEN3 is a non-certified engine; therefore, Wexpro must comply with the requirements at 60.4243(b)(2)(i) for owners or operators of stationary SI ICE greater than 25 hp and less than or equal to 500 hp. Pursuant to 60.4243(b)(2)(i), the permittee shall keep a maintenance plan and records of conducted maintenance, and an initial performance test must be conducted to demonstrate compliance. MPLX, the previous owner, conducted an initial performance test on GEN3 on October 29, 2019 which showed compliance with the requirements. GEN3 was installed on November 9, 2018; therefore, the test was conducted within one year of engine startup. During this compliance evaluation, Katherine submitted maintenance records for GEN3 and C200. Documents indicate that maintenance is scheduled to be conducted on GEN3 at regularly scheduled intervals of 720 hours, 2,000 hours, 4,000, 8,000 and 24,000 hours. OBSERVATION: C200 is a non-certified engine; therefore, Wexpro must comply with the requirements at 60.4243(b)(2)(ii) for owners or operators of stationary SI ICE greater than or equal to 500 hp. Pursuant to 60.4243(b)(2)(ii), the permittee shall keep a maintenance plan and records of conducted maintenance, and an initial performance test must be conducted to demonstrate compliance. Pursuant to 60.4243(b)(2)(ii), Wexpro shall comply with the requirement to conduct subsequent performance testing every 8,760 hours or 3 years, whichever comes first, thereafter to demonstrate compliance. See above for NSPS JJJJ C200 engine performance tests conducted after the initial performance test, showing compliance with the emission limitations. Wexpro conducted each test within 8,760 hours of operation. Additionally, documents indicate that maintenance is scheduled to be conducted on GEN3 at regularly scheduled intervals of 720 hours, 2,000 hours, 4,000 hours, and 8,000 hours. E. Testing Requirements [40 CFR 60.4244 (a)-(f)] The Permittee shall comply with the performance testing requirements for the non-emergency, SI ICE greater than or equal to 100 hp and less than 500 hp, as specified in 60.4244 (a)-(f), for emissions unit GEN3. OBSERVATION: An initial performance test to demonstrate compliance with NSPS JJJJ was conducted on GEN3 on October 29, 2019; three 1-hour test runs were conducted. An approved test method was used to conduct the performance test. No further testing has been triggered or required. OBSERVATION: A performance test to demonstrate compliance with NSPS JJJJ was conducted on C200 on August 16, 2022 and August 16, 2023; three 1-hour test runs were conducted for each performance test using ASTM D6348-03. Pursuant to 60.4243(b)(2)(ii), C200 is required to conduct subsequent performance testing every 8,760 hours or 3 years, whichever comes first, thereafter to demonstrate compliance. An approved test method was used to conduct the initial and subsequent performance tests. F. Notification, Reports and Records [40 CFR 60.4245] The Permittee shall comply with all of the applicable notification, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements for the non-emergency, SI ICE greater than or equal to 100 hp and less than 500 hp, as specified in 60.4245, for emissions unit GEN3, except that the reports of required performance tests shall be submitted with the respective semiannual report required in Section VI.B.1. of the permit that corresponds with the reporting period within which the test was conducted. OBSERVATION: Copies of maintenance records and records of the hours of operation recorded through the non-resettable hour meter were submitted to the EPA upon request. According to meter information submitted by WexPro, the total runtime on GEN3 as of August 7, 2024 was 47,966 hours. During the previous inspection, records showed a total runtime on GEN3 by June 1, 2022 was 29,172 10 hours. OBSERVATION: Results of the performance tests on C200 were submitted to the EPA within 60 days after the test was completed, pursuant to the requirements at 60.4245(d). Copies of maintenance records and records of the hours of operation recorded through the non-resettable hour meter were submitted to the EPA upon request. According to meter information submitted by WexPro, the total runtime on C200 as of August 7, 2024 was 23,976 hours. III. National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from Oil and Natural Gas Production Facilities - 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HH (MACT HH) A. Applicability [40 CFR 63.760(b)(1)(i)] 1. 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HH applies to the 15 MMscfd glycol dehydrator identified as D-1, and control devices FL-1 and C-1. 2. Notwithstanding conditions in this permit, the Permittee shall comply with all applicable requirements of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HH for affected sources located at a major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). OBSERVATION: The glycol dehydrator meets the definition of large glycol dehydration unit at 40 CFR 63.761. Per Paragraph 15 of the Consent Decree Case No. 2:08-CV-00167-TS, the Island Compressor Station is considered a major source of HAPs under MACT HH. Emissions from the glycol dehydrator (D-1) are routed to the flare (FL-1) or combustor (C-1); therefore, FL-1 and C-1 are subject to the relevant control device requirements in MACT HH. B. General Standards [40 CFR 63.764] 1. The General Provisions at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart A apply as specified in Table 2 of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HH. Notwithstanding conditions in this permit, the Permittee shall comply with all applicable requirements of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart A. 3. Except as specified in 63.764(e), the Permittee shall comply with the following requirements for the glycol dehydrator: (a) The control requirements for glycol dehydrator process vents specified in 63.765; (b) The monitoring requirements specified in 63.773; and (c) The recordkeeping and reporting requirements specified in 63.774 and 63.775. 4. At all times the Permittee must operate and maintain any glycol dehydrator, including associated air pollution control equipment and monitoring equipment, in a manner consistent with safety and good air pollution control practices for minimizing emissions. Determination of whether such operation and maintenance procedures are being used will be based on information available to the EPA which may include, but is not limited to, monitoring results, review of operation and maintenance procedures, review of operation and maintenance records, and inspection of the unit. [40 CFR 63.764(j)] OBSERVATION: A flare (FL-1) is used as the primary control device for the glycol dehydrator; the enclosed combustor (C-1) is used as a backup control device for the flare. Per the requirements of the 11 federal consent decree, during periods of time when the flare is down, emissions from D-1 are to be routed to a backup combustor (C-1). Control device downtime is reported in semiannual MACT HH reports. (See Table 7 for details.) A total of approximately 92 hours of flare downtime was reported for the period of January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024; during those hours, emissions were reported as being routed to the combustor with the combustor operating properly.1 C. Glycol Dehydration Unit Process Vent Standards [40 CFR 63.765] The Permittee shall comply with the glycol dehydration unit process vent standards and control equipment requirements as follows: 1. Except as specified in 63.765(c), the Permittee shall comply with the applicable requirements for large glycol dehydration process vents at major sources of HAP specified in 63.765(b)(1) and (2). (a) For each large glycol dehydration process vent, the Permittee shall control air emissions by either paragraph (b)(1)(i) or (ii) of 63.765. (i) The Permittee shall connect the process vent to a control device or combination of control devices through a closed-vent system, the closed-vent system shall be designed and operated in accordance with the requirements of 63.771(c). The control device2 shall be designed and operated in accordance with the requirements of 63.771(d); or (ii) The permittee shall connect the process vent to a control device or combination of control devices through a closed-vent system and the outlet benzene emissions from the control device(s) shall be reduced to a level less than 0.90 megagrams per year. The closed-vent system shall be designed and operated in accordance with the requirements of 63.771(c). The control device shall be designed and operated in accordance with the requirements of 63.771(d), except that the performance levels specified in 63.771(d)(1)(i) and (ii) do not apply; and (b) One or more safety devices that vent directly to the atmosphere may be used on the air emission control equipment installed to comply with paragraph (b)(1) of 63.765. OBSERVATIONS: The dehydration unit at the Island Compressor Station is considered a large dehydration unit, so the requirements of 40 CFR 63.771(d) apply. The Island Compressor Station uses control devices rather than process modifications to comply with the MACT HH glycol dehydration unit process vent standards, so it complies with the standards at 40 CFR 63.765(b) rather than 63.765(c)(2). As specified at 63.771(c), emissions from the dehydration unit are routed via a closed vent system (CVS) to the flare or combustor. According to information provided by Wexpro in its MACT HH semiannual report covering the January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 period, the most recent CVS inspection one (1) equipment leak detected; first attempt at repair on the same day was reported by Wexpro as 1 Wexpro reported in previous inspections and while onsite during this inspection that, as a safeguard, a valve is installed that closes and does not allow glycol to circulate in the dehydrator if the combustor is not operating. 2 Provision III.C.1(a)(i) of permit V-UO-000011-2018.00 states that "[t]he closed vent system shall be designed and operated in accordance with the requirements of 63.771(d); however, 63.771(d) contains control device requirements for sources except small glycol dehydration units. Therefore, compliance of control devices is evaluated for this provision. Compliance of the closed-vent system is evaluated for provision 63.771(c). 12 2. The permittee shall comply with the closed-vent system requirements specified in 63.771(c). 3. For each control device, FL-1 and C-1, the Permittee shall comply with the applicable control device requirements to reduce HAP emissions as specified in 63.771(d). OBSERVATION: See Section III.C, above, which includes a discussion of compliance with these requirements. OBSERVATION: Emissions were detected by EPA inspectors for a second inspection in a row from the thief hatch on the flash tank from the dehydration system. WexPro should consider enhanced monitoring of the thief hatch on the flash tank/TEG knockout tank of the dehydration unit or attempt to find a more permanent solution to reduce the failures of this emissions source. Wexpro confirmed the thief hatch was repaired on September 27, 2024 via email to EPA inspectors. E. Test Methods, Compliance Procedures, and Compliance Determination Requirements [40 CFR 63.772(b)-(c) and (e)-(f)] The Permittee shall determine compliance with the requirements of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HH using the applicable test methods and compliance procedures for large glycol dehydration units specified in 63.772. 1. The Permittee shall determine the glycol dehydration unit flowrate, benzene emissions or BTEX emissions as specified in 63.772(b). 2. The Permittee shall comply with the test procedures for no detectable emissions in accordance with Method 21, 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A, as specified in 63.772(c). 3. The Permittee shall comply with the test procedures for control device performance for FL-1 and C-1 as specified in 63.772(e). 4. The Permittee shall comply with the compliance demonstration for control device performance requirements for FL-1 and C-1 as specified in 63.772(f). OBSERVATION: Since the facility is using a flare to control emissions from the dehydrator, it is required to meet the provisions in 63.772(e)(2), which require the owner or operator to design and operate the flare in accordance with the requirements of 63.11(b). According to information provided by Wexpro in a previous inspection, the Flameco flare appears to comply by having an exit velocity below 60 ft/sec as required by 40 CFR 63.11(b)(7)(i ), no operational changes were reported by Wexpro since the previous inspection. Compliance determinations are to be made according to Method 22 of 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A, for visible emissions. In the information provided as part of this compliance evaluation, documents indicated that Wexpro performs Method 22 readings approximately every 6 months, and no visible emissions have been observed from FL-1 or C-1 since Wexpro obtained ownership of the Island Compressor Station. Pursuant to 63.773(e)(1)(i), no performance tests are required to be conducted on the flare. When the dehydration unit is operating and the flare is down, emissions from the glycol dehydrator, D-1, are routed to the combustor, C-1. Therefore, C-1 is considered a control device under MACT HH. As stated in the observations in Section III.C and Table 6 above, a performance test showing compliance with the requirements has been conducted on the combustor as of December 8, 2020, as required by 63.771(d)(1)(i)(A) and 63.772(e). 14 F. Inspection and Monitoring Requirements [40 CFR 63.773] 1. For each closed-vent system or cover required by the Permittee to comply with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HH, the Permittee shall comply with the inspection and monitoring requirements specified in 63.773(c). OBSERVATION: The inspection and monitoring requirements specified in 40 CFR 63.773(c) require an initial inspection to demonstrate that the closed-vent system operates with no detectable emissions. The initial inspection was conducted more than five years ago so is not applicable to this compliance evaluation. Pursuant to 63.773(c)(2), annual visual inspections for defects of the closed-vent system and cover and annual Method 21 inspections on the closed-vent system are also required. Results of annual inspections were submitted with the MACT HH semiannual reports. Visual inspections of the closed-vent system and cover and Method 21 inspections are conducted annually, see Table 7 of this compliance evaluation below for results of those inspections conducted by Wexpro. 2. For each control device, FL-1 and C-1, required by the Permittee to comply with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HH, the Permittee shall comply with the inspection and monitoring requirements as specified in 63.773(d). OBSERVATION: Pursuant to the requirements of 40 CFR 63.773(d), the presence of a pilot light is continuously monitored via a thermocouple in the flare and enclosed combustor. Wexpro indicated during previous inspection reports and in MACT HH, SIXMON and TVACC reports that it has installed a redundant backup data system to ensure that data is collected and stored. 40 CFR 63.773(d)(1)(iii) requires a CPMS performance evaluation at least once every 12 months. Documents submitted to the EPA by Wexpro indicate that CPMS performance evaluations are conducted annually in October. G. Recordkeeping Requirements [40 CFR 63.774] 1. The recordkeeping provisions of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart A, that apply and those that do not apply to the Permittee are listed in Table 2 of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HH. 2. The Permittee shall maintain the records specified in 63.774(b), (c), (e), and (g). 3. Except as specified in 63.774(c), the Permittee shall maintain the records specified in 63.774(b). OBSERVATION: The facility logs and maintains records through paper logs and a SCADA system. Hard copy records are stored at a local, off-site field station, and SCADA data and reports are maintained electronically. 4. If compliance with the benzene emission limit specified in 63.765(b)(1)(ii) is elected, the Permittee shall document, to the Administrator's satisfaction, the items in 63.774(c). OBSERVATION: According to information provided by Wexpro during the previous inspection, the Island Compressor Station does not elect to demonstrate compliance with the benzene emission limit; therefore, the records at 63.774(c) are not required. 15 5. The Permittee shall keep records of the requirements of 63.774(e) when using a flare to comply with 63.771(d). OBSERVATION: The facility maintains records for the flare, FL-1, as required by 63.774(e). Records of periods when the pilot flame is absent are submitted with periodic reports, and SCADA data for FL-1 and C-1 were submitted to the EPA in MACT HH, SIXMON and TVACC reports. 6. The Permittee shall maintain records, pursuant to 63.774(g), of the occurrence and duration of each malfunction of operation (i.e., process equipment) or the air pollution control equipment and monitoring equipment. The Permittee shall maintain records of actions taken during periods of malfunction to minimize emissions in accordance with 63.764(j), including corrective actions to restore malfunctioning process and air pollution control and monitoring equipment to its normal or usual manner of operation. OBSERVATION: Records of malfunctions and corrective actions were submitted with periodic reports. H. Reporting Requirements [40 CFR 63.775] 1. The reporting provisions of subpart A of this part, that apply and those that do not apply to the Permittee are listed in Table 2 of this subpart. 2. The Permittee shall submit the information specified in 63.775(b). 3. The Permittee shall submit Notification of Compliance Status Reports as specified in 63.775(d). 4. The Permittee shall submit Periodic Reports as specified in 63.775(e). 5. The Permittee shall submit notifications of process changes as specified in 63.775(f). 6. The Permittee shall comply with any applicable electronic reporting provisions specified at 63.775(g). OBSERVATION: The Initial Notification required by 63.775(b) and the Notification of Compliance Status required by 63.775(d) were submitted prior to the last full compliance evaluation. The facility submits semiannual periodic MACT HH reports as required by 63.775(e). The semiannual reports provide information on excess emissions, CPMS downtime, flare and combustor downtime, dehydrator operation time, and closed vent system inspections. Pursuant to the requirements of 63.775(f), process changes are to be reported within 180 days after the process change is made or as a part of the next periodic report, whichever is sooner. Based on the information provided by Wexpro, no process changes have taken place at the Island Compressor Station since the previous full compliance evaluation. Table 7, below, contains details of the semiannual MACT HH reports submitted since the previous inspection. Reporting Period Table 7: MACT HH Semiannual Periodic Reports Report Date Notes* 16 installed at the facility. Pursuant to 63.6590(a)(2)(iii), engine GEN3 is a new (constructed on or after June 12, 2006), 4SRB natural gas-fired RICE located at an area source of HAP emissions. Wexpro continues to submit MACT ZZZZ reports for C200 and conducts performance tests to comply with the MACT ZZZZ CH2O Emission Limit of 350 ppbvd @ 15% O2. EPA reported the results of those performance tests in this full compliance evaluation. C. Emission and Operating Limitations [40 CFR 63.6600, 63.6605, and 63.6590] 1. The Permittee shall comply with the emission limitations and operating limitations for stationary 4SRB RICE with a site rating of more than 500 brake hp located at a major source of HAP emissions, specified in 63.6600 for engine C100. 2. Pursuant to 63.6590(c), the Permittee shall comply with the requirements of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ for engine GEN3 by meeting the requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ. No further requirements apply for this engine under 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ. 3. Pursuant to 63.6600, compliance with the numerical emission limitations for stationary 4SRB RICE with a site rating of more than 500 brake hp located at a major source of HAP emissions established in 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ, for engine C100, shall be based on the results of testing the average of three 1-hour runs using the testing requirements and procedures in 63.6620 and Table 4 to 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ. 4. The Permittee must be in compliance with the emission limitations and operating limitations that apply to C100 at all times, as specified in 63.6605(a). 5. The Permittee must operate and maintain any affected source, including associated air pollution control equipment and monitoring equipment, in a manner consistent with safety and good air pollution control practices for minimizing emissions at all times. The general duty to minimize emissions does not require the Permittee to make any further efforts to reduce emissions if the required levels have been achieved. Determination of whether such operations and maintenance procedures are being used will be based on information available to the EPA, which may include, but is not limited to, monitoring results, review of operation and maintenance procedures, review of operation and maintenance records, and inspection of the source as specified in 63.6605(b). OBSERVATIONS: C100: C100 was removed from the facility prior to the previous inspection and therefore was not assessed for compliance during this full compliance evaluation. GEN3 and C200: Pursuant to 63.6590(c)(1), GEN3 and C200 must meet the requirements of MACT ZZZZ by meeting the requirements of 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ. No further requirements apply to GEN3 under MACT ZZZZ. See Section II for a discussion of NSPS JJJJ compliance for engine GEN3. Wexpro continues to submit MACT ZZZZ reports for C200 and conducts performance tests to comply with the MACT ZZZZ CH2O Emission Limit of 350 ppbvd @ 15% O2. EPA reported the results of those performance tests in this full compliance evaluation. D. Testing and Initial Compliance Requirements [40 CFR 63.6610, 63.6615, 63.6620, 63.6625 and 63.6630] 18 OBSERVATION: The Consent Decree was terminated on 6/4/2014. (See Appendix C for a copy of the signed termination order.) However, based on Section XVII of the Consent Decree, the requirements set forth in Paragraphs 17, 19, 20 and 23 of the Consent Decree survived termination and were incorporated in the reissued Title V operating permit, number V-UO-000011-2018.00. B. Requirements for the Glycol Dehydrator [Consent Decree Case No. 2:08-CV-00167-TS-PMV, Paragraph 17] 1. Requirements of Consent Decree Case No. 2:08-CV-00167-TS-PMV, Paragraph 17 (a) The flare installed pursuant to Paragraph 15 of the Consent Decree shall achieve a 95% by weight or greater reduction of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions for the glycol dehydrator process vent stream at all times except during periods of time when the pilot flame at the flare is off, the Permittee shall re-light the pilot flame or route emissions from the glycol dehydrator process vent stream to a backup combustor as expeditiously as practicable. The backup combustor shall achieve a 95% by weight or greater reduction of VOC emissions from the glycol dehydrator process vent stream when in use, as determined by the pilot flame on the combustor being on when in use. The time period during which the glycol dehydrator is operated without either: (1) a flare with the pilot flame on; or (2) the backup combustor with its pilot flame on shall not exceed 500 hours. Nothing in Paragraph 17 of the Consent Decree shall affect the Permittee's obligation to meet the applicable requirements of 40 CFR Part 63. (b) Compliance with 40 CFR 63.11(b), and with the associated monitoring and recordkeeping required in 40 CFR 63.773(d)(3)(i)(C), 63.774(b) and 63.774(e) shall be sufficient to determine compliance with the 95% VOC reduction requirement of Paragraph 17 of the Consent Decree. OBSERVATION: Compliance with MACT HH requirements equate to compliance with the monitoring and recordkeeping requirements of Consent Decree Paragraph 17. As noted in the Enforcement History the EPA issued a NOV to MPLX in November 2019 for failure to comply with MACT HH control requirements at the Island Compressor Station. WexPro conducted a stack test of the combustor on December 8, 2020 to demonstrate initial compliance and those results can be found in Table 6. C. Requirements for the Condensate Storage Tanks [Consent Decree Case No. 2:08-CV-00167-TS-PMV, Paragraphs 19, and 20] 2. Requirements of Consent Decree Case No. 2:08-CV-00167-TS-PMV, Paragraph 19 (a) The Permittee shall, within 30 days of the Effective Date of the Consent Decree, connect the condensate storage tank, identified as T-1 and T-2 in this permit, to an existing or new combustor at the source. (b) The Permittee shall, within 60 days of the Effective Date of the Consent Decree, certify to the EPA that the design of the conveyance systems from the condensate storage tanks to the combustor does not, under normal operating conditions, cause or contribute to a release of VOCs from the condensate storage tank through thief hatches or pressure relief valves. 21 requirements in the permit; (c) Do not require or change a case-by-case determination of an emission limitation or other standard, or a source-specific determination for temporary sources of ambient impacts, or a visibility or increment analysis; (d) Do not seek to establish or change a permit term or condition for which there is no corresponding underlying applicable requirement and that the source has assumed to avoid an applicable requirement to which the source would otherwise be subject. Such terms and conditions include: (i) A federally enforceable emissions cap assumed to avoid classification as a modification under any provision of Title I; and (ii) An alternative emissions limit approved pursuant to regulations promulgated under Section 112(i)(5) of the CAA; (e) Are not modifications under any provision of Title I of the CAA; and (f) Are not required to be processed as a significant modification. 2. Notwithstanding the list of changes ineligible for minor permit modification procedures in 1 above, minor permit modification procedures may be used for permit modifications involving the use of economic incentives, marketable permits, emissions trading, and other similar approaches, to the extent that such minor permit modification procedures are explicitly provided for in an applicable implementation plan or in applicable requirements promulgated by the EPA. 3. An application requesting the use of minor permit modification procedures shall meet the requirements of 40 CFR 71.5(c) and shall include the following: (a) A description of the change, the emissions resulting from the change, and any new applicable requirements that will apply if the change occurs; (b) The source's suggested draft permit; (c) Certification by a responsible official, consistent with 40 CFR 71.5(d), that the proposed modification meets the criteria for use of minor permit modification procedures and a request that such procedures be used; and (d) Completed forms for the permitting authority to use to notify affected states as required under 40 CFR 71.8. 4. The source may make the change proposed in its minor permit modification application immediately after it files such application. After the source makes the change allowed by the preceding sentence, and until the permitting authority takes any of the actions authorized by 40 CFR 71.7(e)(1)(iv)(A) through (C), the source must comply with both the applicable requirements governing the change and the proposed permit terms and conditions. During this time period, the source need not comply with the existing permit terms and conditions it seeks to modify. However, if the source fails to comply with its proposed permit terms and conditions during this time period, the existing permit terms and conditions it seeks to modify may be enforced against it. 5. The permit shield under 40 CFR 71.6(f) may not extend to minor permit modifications. 27 OBSERVATION: On July 27, 2021, Wexpro notified the EPA with a request for minor permit modification of the Title V permit, permit # V-UO-000011-2018.00. Wexpro replaced the existing 1,480-horsepower Waukesha natural gas-fired compressor engine (C100) with a unit that has the same make, model and horsepower as the existing one and was manufactured July 2021. The existing C100 unit was due for an overhaul which prompted replacement of the engine. The EPA determined that this change was acceptable and is in the process of updating the permit requirements as necessary which will be reissued in the future as a minor permit modification. The requirements for the new engine, C200, will include NSPS JJJJ requirements for spark ignition engines with maximum engine power greater than 500 hp and was constructed after June 12, 2006 and manufactured after July 1, 2008 as discussed in Section II above. The engine will also comply with the applicable consent decree requirements as discussed in Section V.D above. 28 APPENDIX C: Consent Decree Termination A-2
